Greetings clubpolo community,

 

I am currently researching the possibility of retrofiting xenon headlights from 6n2 gti to my girlfriends regular 6n2 1.4 16V.

As far as I've looked up the wiring diagrams the pinouts are exactly the same between xenon and hallogen headlights. Main difference is the way the xenons are regulated (by a module that has a sensor in the back of the car). In my opinion, it's not going to be a problem to regulate the xenon headlights with the standart regulator from the dashboard, because the motors themselves are the same between xenon and hallogen headlights.

 

All in all, my question is the following:

 

• Is it really in fact a straight plug and play (electrical wise) going from hallogen to xenon lights?

 

 

Cheers.

Evening,

Very simple to fit xenon's into standard 6n2s it will more than likely require you to cut a section of the slam panel to enable the ballast at the bottom of the headlight to fit I have had to do this on a 1.0 8v a 1.4tdi and a 1.9 sdi

According to MOT handbook, vehicles post September 2009 with HID lights, they need washer jets.

Reason is to help reduce glare.
